Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson
This
is a classic tale about Jim Hawkins and his search for treasure after finding a
pirate treasure map. Mutiny, pirates, and deception are all that Jim finds on
the island, and a stranded crazed man named Ben Gunn who has found the treasure
and hidden it in a cave.
I
thought Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson, was filled with a lot of adventure. I like that it was
about someone that wants to hunt but learns that after murder, and death, that
wealth and adventure is not always worth the risks. He is happy to get back to
the life he had before that was plain and simple. It's good to go on some
adventures, but it's also good to just relax and lead a simple life.
